WiEPOut T1 Frequently Asked Questions
Product
What does WiEPOut T1 do?
WiEPOut T1 is a pair of wireless I/O bridges: wire a switch, pushbutton, float switch or PLC output into one unit and the other unit mirrors it. One encrypted sub-GHz (902–928 MHz) radio link replaces up to 5 wired control paths.
How far can WiEPOut T1 send a signal?
Up to 1,000 ft (tested outdoors, units 6 in. above ground). Walls, metal buildings, terrain and mounting height affect range, so confirm the link at your site before relying on it.
How many signals can one WiEPOut T1 link carry?
Two dry-contact channels and three DC signal channels, so one pair replaces up to 5 wired paths. The DC (PinSync) lines use a 5–48 V reference voltage (recommended); 3.3 V also works.
Does WiEPOut T1 need Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or an internet connection?
No. The two units talk directly to each other over their own encrypted 902–928 MHz link, with no Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, network or cloud service involved.
Is the WiEPOut T1 wireless link secure?
Yes. Traffic between the units is encrypted (AES-256), and the two units authenticate each other when they pair.
Is WiEPOut T1 FCC approved? Do I need a radio license?
No license is needed. WiEPOut T1 is FCC Part 15 compliant (SDoC; independently tested by F2 Labs) and runs in the license-free 902–928 MHz ISM band.
What temperature range does WiEPOut T1 operate in?
WiEPOut T1 is rated for −20 °C to +70 °C operating temperature.
Is WiEPOut T1 safety-rated? Can I use it as a wireless e-stop?
No. WiEPOut T1 is not a safety-rated device (no SIL or PL rating) and must not be the sole means of emergency shutdown or personnel protection. It can carry an EPO or interlock signal only where your risk assessment allows a non-rated wireless path.
Ordering & pricing
Where can I buy WiEPOut T1 and how much does it cost?
WiEPOut T1 is sold through DigiKey: the Link Kit is $999 ($949 each at 4+, $899 each at 8+) and the Single Unit is $599. Check DigiKey for current price and stock.
What's the difference between the WiEPOut T1 Link Kit and Single Unit?
The Link Kit is two Single Units boxed together, which is everything you need for one complete link. Buy a Single Unit as a spare, a replacement or an add-on; every working link needs two units.
What comes in the box with WiEPOut T1?
Single Unit: 1× WiEPOut T1 unit, 1× 12 V power adapter, 1× mating terminal plug, 1× USB cable. Link Kit (two Single Units boxed together): 2× WiEPOut T1 units, 2× 12 V power adapters, 2× mating terminal plugs, 2× USB cables.
Can I order WiEPOut T1 direct or get volume pricing?
Direct ordering on arbolmicro.com is paused, so please order through DigiKey. For volume orders or custom builds, email sales@arbolmicro.com or call (888) 415-5252.
Does Arbol Micro take on custom electronics or software projects?
Yes. We do product and system design, PCB design and embedded firmware, desktop and mobile apps, AI and machine learning integration, and design review and consulting.
Setup & wiring
Do I need software or a computer to set up WiEPOut T1?
No. Set the mode and channel with DIP switches, connect 12 V DC at each end, and the units pair automatically. The optional, free WiEPOut Host Service (REST, WebSocket, VISA/SCPI) is available if you want automation or monitoring.
What power does WiEPOut T1 need?
Each unit runs on 12 V DC, and every unit ships with its own 12 V power adapter. The +12 V aux output (pin 7) can supply 100 mA max continuous (250 mA absolute max).
Can the WiEPOut T1 DC signal channels be inputs or outputs?
Yes. Each of the three DC signal channels is set as an input or an output with its own DIP switch.
Can WiEPOut T1 switch a pump, motor or other AC load?
Use it to drive a contactor or control relay that switches the AC load; don't switch line voltage directly. The far unit simply follows the switch or PLC output wired into the near unit.
Can I run several WiEPOut T1 pairs at the same site?
Yes. There are 16 DIP-selectable channels; give each nearby pair its own channel.
Support & warranty
Where can I find the WiEPOut T1 datasheet, manuals and downloads?
